Hey-ho :-),
Why I should stop making TM videos, even after 6 years activity now ? :D I'm still active in the community, but ehm, a little less lately.
Otherwise, I want to say; big thanks you for your subs! :D Your support keeps me motivated in continuingthe maniaplanet adventure, even if I'm not very active at the moment. I prepared several interesting projects until now so we'll have plenty of new things to keep us entertained, even the next year to come. Gonna be good. :P
So, here's a quick simple home-edit video, in where I wanted to approch the game to realism, from cameras,to colors correction (Magic Bullet Looks !!!), or even depth-of-field and lighting.
About lighting, a quick-fix update has made the shadows computation even more darker. It looks more nice depending of the map areas (i.e. tunnels), but sometimes, it's so gloomy that you can't even see something forward, so the mapper have to place more lights.
And, the 'ModWork' folder, that allows you to create your own custom mood, is fixed from now. Here's the tutorial.
As always, like, dislike, comment, share, but first of all, enjoy!YouTube

TmTournament is searching for a video editor. Every year map builders get the opportunity to send their maps, with the hope of their maps getting selected. Why shouldn’t we give video editors the same opportunity to become the video editor of TmT 2012. As everyone deserves a fair chance, TmT organizes a video contest.

The winner of the contest will be the video editor of TmT 2012 and if the collaboration works well even longer. To compete create a video that explains when and where the groups will be announced. The winner will be selected based on votes by the TmT fanatics and judgment of the TmT management. The votes of the TmT fanatics count for 40% and the judgment of TmT management for 60%. This is because the TmT management not only judges by quality, but takes reliability (as far as we can judge) and the available time during TmT 2012 into account.

So yeah, I started a little cooperation with the guys from Mania-Community.de, Germany's number one TM/SM/QM forum, to support each other. We've actually planned more than just this forum, but everyone is quite busy these days (including myself), so things didn't run as smooth as intended. So for now we've got this little subforum here, which will act as the central communication platform of TM-Tube from now on and replace our link to the old TM-Forum.

You'll be able to share your creations with more detailed descriptions, discuss them in a more comfortable way than in the TM-Tube comments, share tutorials, and give feedback to us.

Register now and be part of the community! You'll be able to copy your TM-Tube account to the forum at a future date, for now you'll have to create a separate account. We'll also add more features as time passes.

Now we're proud to present you the 2nd season which will start on February 2nd. The 16 best German drivers will compete in a head-to-head battle every Wednesday and Thursday on the virtual circuit, or more specifically, on the new TWL maps. The whole event will be streamed by MaseTV.

Two slots are still vacant, so take your chance to compete in Germany's most thrilling TM² cup by signing up for the qualifying on our homepage! It will take place on January 25th and 26th.

After a seemingly endless period of waiting the ALTERNATE Trackmania 2 Pro League by Team ALTERNATE finally started last thursday. The organisation picked 16 of Germany's best Trackmania 2 players and seperated them into four groups with four players each. While the groupstage is played in an 1on1 best-of-three mode, the two best drivers of each group will advance to the playoffs in which an elimination tournament will determine the winner. The mappacks for this season are kindly presented by ET Generation. Every thursday the two Matches of the Week are broadcast by Kevin 'Predator' H. and an alternating co-caster in order to convey the complete excitement of this tournament.
